Well, I don't know if I or my fellow co-conspirators were "bent out of
shape", but for the record, here's what *I* wrote about Stokowski/Bach:

And I am quite sure that Mr. Satz' posting wasn't nearly as accomodating
to Stokowski, so I am at a loss as to what Mr. Gregoire means in his first
sentence.
